Chapter 1367
Preston finished speaking calmly and looked at Jayden with indifference. “I’m sorry for bothering your girlfriend twice and making you uncomfortable. But rest assured, I won’t bother her again…”
Jayden seemed surprised that Preston would directly admit to what he had done and that someone of his status would apologize to him.
In reality, Preston knew very well that Griffon knew how much he disliked Jayden and still made Jayden apologize. Griffon probably thought Preston was in the wrong too, considering he couldn’t control his emotions and thought Harper still had feelings for him. That’s why he continued to pursue her even though she had a boyfriend.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Preston followed Griffon’
suggestion and apologized.
As for his initial thoughts of beat Jayden up, after Harper talked to him, Preston dismissed that idea. He didn’t think
it was necessary anymore. He and Harper were completely over, and it had nothing to do with him how she and Jayden
would move forward.
But… Preston couldn’t help but give one last piece of advice.
“Mr. Sherwood, she’s been mated before and betrayed. She’s
wary of mating. If she’s willing to mate you, it means she trusts you a lot. Treat her well in the future.”
After finishing his instructions, Preston picked up a paper
bag from the bedside cabinet and handed it to Jayden. “She
bought these candies to talk things out with me. You can take them back for her. I don’t need them anymore…”
Harper bought so many candies to remind him to completely sever ties, and him returning the candies symbolized the end.
Jayden didn’t understand the significance of it, but he reached out and took the paper bag, calmly examining Preston’s pale face. “The fact that you ended up in the emergency room that day because of me shows that you still care about Harper. Why did you give up so quickly?”
Jayden felt that Preston was playing a strategic retreat, attempting to gain the upper hand.
“If she loved me, I wouldn’t give up.” The implication was that Preston had realized Harper no longer loved him, which made him regain his sanity.
“You’re right. If she loved you, she wouldn’t be with me. It’s better for you to give up early. It’s a relief for you, after all…” Jayden paused for a moment, hands in his pockets, looking
down on Preston from a higher position, raising an eyebrow
“Someone like you, with a strong background and good looks.
